The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

The wl18xx firmware has more information in the static_data than
wl12xx. To be able to parse that in an abstracted way, this patch
adds a priv area to the static data struct and an operation that
allows the lower driver to parse it if necessary.

The top registers initialization is very specific to the actual
hardware used, even the way in which we read from and write to the top
registers varies from chip to chip. This patch moves all top
registers initialization to wl12xx. Also add a boot op for the wlcore
module to call at the right time and a few callbacks with the common
called to be called from the lower drivers boot operations.

Add register tables support in wlcore, add some new IO functions to
read and write to chip-specific register and data addresses. Move
some common register values from wl12xx to wlcore and add the
registers table to wl12xx.

In order to add chip-specific operations and prepare for future
elements that need to be set by the lower driver, move the wl1271
structure to the wlcore.h file and add an empty placeholder for the
operations structure.

Rename the wl12xx driver directory to wlcore as an initial step
towards the split of the driver into wlcore and wl12xx. We just
rename the directory first to keep git blame happy.
